Making a Pallet Archtop Jazz Guitar Full Build - Part 3 FINAL
มุมมอง 21K2 ปีที่แล้ว
A pallet wood project. This is the 3. and final part on how i make an archtop jazz guitar out of 1 old pallet. I'm not trying to proof anything and this is not a tonewood vs scrap wood debate. There is a lot of good reasons to use maple, mahogany, spruce, rosewood, ebony .....etc This is just a fun challenge for me and i like to recycle materials. The music is me playing some nice jazz standard...

Acoustic baritone guitar build with Half Nashville tuning
มุมมอง 13K3 ปีที่แล้ว
How to make a guitar and my approach to build from scratch with no building plans. This is an acoustic baritone guitar with "Half Nashville" tuning. I´m a huge fan of Pat Metheny and his albums "What´s It All About" and "One Quiet Night" where he uses a special acoustic baritone guitar build by Linda Manzer. It is low tuned from A to A (sometimes Ab to Ab) but the two middle strings is one octa...

This is a comparison between two identically build Gibson L-00 style guitars, but with different materials. One build with traditional tonewoods. Spruce top, mahogany back, sides and neck, ebony fingerboard and bridge. The other one is made of scrapwood i had lying around. A natural Larch board as top. Back, sides, neck, fingerboard and bridge is made of two oak floorboards. See every step of t...

This is a full build (every step!) of a Gibson L-00 style guitar. Handmade of scrap wood with a surprisingly good sound. The materials is 2 oak floorboards (sides, back, neck and fingerboard) and a natural larch board for the top, bracing and kerfed linings. I am freely following plans downloaded from www.grellier.fr with great thanks! www.grellier.fr/static/data/plans/Gibson_L-00/Gibson_L-00_e...

Какая противная иузыка шоркает пальцами по струнам не приятно противно
How do I get the pdf?
There is a link in the description😊
Great video. After setting the outer strings how do adjust the intonation of the other strings?
If the tone in the 12th fret is too high you need to move the contact point between the string and the saddle back by filing material off on the opposite side.
Great build, where you get the plan on this ?
Thank you. It is my own plans, so it is pretty unique😊
So beautiful guitar... I love the neck...
Super god video! Jeg lærte virkelig noget💫
Hej Alexander. Tak skal du ha’ 🤠
Great video, thanks for making it! What was your total build time for this project. It looks like you put as much care into it as if you were working with premium woods.
Hi Nicks. Thank you! Yes, i put the same time and care into it no matter what kind of wood i use. Maybe i use a little bit more time with prepping the scrabwood…….😊
hello Anders je viens de regarder et d'écouter entièrement ta vidéo !!!! j'avais l'impression d'écouter Metheny - tu as vraiment compris son univers mais en plus il y a ta personne - je voulais juste te demander un conseil - J'ai acheté une baritone de marque Walden - pas mal mais peut faire mieux - ce que je n'aime pas ce sont les basses filetées - et la question les deux cordes à l'octave ? ce sont des cordes normales ou des cordes de 12 cordes comme je l'avais lu dans un article sur Pat Metheny !! Il y a plusieurs morceaux qui me tiennent à coeur " Alfie " " Round Midnight " "Don't know why" et bien sûr beaucoup d'autres - j'aimerais juste que tu puisses m'expliquer le choix exact du jeu de cordes - est ce que des cordes montées déjà sur cette guitare peuvent aller à l'octave ? et bien sur une guitare à 1200 € ne peut pas avoir le son d'une Linda Manzer - mais faut rêver - ta guitare est magnifique - sobre et un esuperbe son - mais es tu luthier ? bonne vie avec ta musique - Patrice je suis français 74 ans cette année et un grand admirateur de Pat Metheny depuis 40 ans au moins - je joue aussi de la guitare nylon ( Yamaha sg 200 N ) car je suis aussi fan d'a peu près le même temps que Metheny d'un autre guitariste merveilleux Ralph Towner bye Anders
Hello and Thank you for the kind words. The strings are, from low to high: 6. String .065 bronze wound 5. String .056 bronze wound 4. String .022 bright wound 3. String .016 plain steel 2. String .026 plain steel 1. String .017 plain steel I hope it helps😊 KR Anders

I was initially hesitant to make a guitar from scrapwood, but finally I dared to make a guitar from scrapwood
Scrapwood's sound is louder than tonewood's sound
Love this so much! Quick question: when did you make the hardware cutouts on the front? Was it before or after assembling the body? 💪💪💪🎼🎼🎼👍👍👍
Hi there. I did the cutouts after assembling the body to make sure the pickup is at the correct place.
@@AndersWestfall Thanks so much ~ I'm doing a build like this very soon and your videos are a HUGE help (and inspiration), hi from the US! 😃😃
Very nice build!!! You play really well too. My next guitar is going to be a Martin 0 with 3 pc oak back. Top will be eastern white pine. I harvested the white oak and quarter sawed it. Walnut neck and walnut binding.
Thanks! Sounds great. Have a happy build!
Hello teacher, could you help, I am in the process of making one and I have several questions
Hello. You are welcome to write your questions here so we can share knowledge. And maybe others will join. 😜
This is absolutely unbelievable, I watched the entire video in detail. Well done! How long does it take you on average to build one guitar from scratch?
Thank you! A one off guitar like that takes approximately 70-80 hours to make. But it is a hobby so I don’t keep an eye on the clock😜
Few years ago I found a thick old ugly pine board lying in a back yard of a house I´ bought. I built a Rickenbacker 330 copy out of it. But for the neck I used maple. Sounds nice!
Sounds great 👍. Something happens to old wood (ex pine) that makes it great tonewood.

Absolutely amazing. An artist on both the bench and the instrument. I've been singing jazz standards for 50 years & would sit in with you anytime!
Thank you for the kind words!
Looks very good, good sound without pickupp too! Thank you for filming the proces❤ maybe in the future ill make one too!?
Thank you, I hope you will give it a go😊
No trussrod, prone to warp
Yes, there is a trussrod. See the video😜😃
That goes saying that it's not the type of materials, someone has in their disposal, it's how they put them together. As the old saying goes: "Time is Money".
Why didn't you put any dimensions in the video? Would have made things a lot easier. I did a lot of guessing.
I didn’t measure anything. The bottom part needs a hole that is bigger than the bridge and the top part should fit your router base😊
What an absolutely beautiful instrument and playing too! Thank you
Hello Andreas, thank you for your videos that accompanied me in the realization of a Gibson L00, made with scrapwood. I write to you because I have trouble finding the information on the net about the tuning fork. As the plane is unreliable because of the random dimensions, I do not know exactly where to take the 630 mm measurement in order to properly place the bridge with its bone saddle as it has at an angle. (hope you anderstand my question). Can you help me to be sure where to take the dimensions of the tuning fork, is it on the E4, the E2, or in between these notes. Thank you for the response...if you can.
Hi there. if i understand your question correctly you are not placing the bridge at an angle, only the saddle. The bridge is placed perpendicular to the neck. Measure 630mm from the nut on the base and treble side. Place the bridge so the 630mm mark is on top of the bridge between the peg holes and the front side edge and there is room for the angle. Be sure there is a least 3mm from the saddle slot to the front edge of the bridge. Then you can use something thin and straight as a temporally saddle and use the treble E and the base E string to find the perfect placement of the saddle slot. See the video here th-cam.com/video/Nc2leZhouD0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ir49_t697UpNKP46&t=4371 I hope it helps :)
Merci Mille fois Andreas for your response...it’s very precise, I should have watched your video again and again, especially in the end where the whole process is described...I don't know why, but I've underated this part and made mistakes. I'll see later on what'll be done. The bridge with the hole for the saddle is glued and it's missing 3 mm! Thank you again for your time!
you are welcome! Have a happy build😀
Amazing video and wonderful soundtrack. Thank you!
Elegant job❤very nice sound
Give angles please.
The angle Can vary from guitar to guitar and various scale length. See my answer below to a similar question 😊
Great information and thank you. Does anyone know if a section of sailing dinghy mast(aluminium) would be adequate for violin ribs?
I have seen some commercial bending irons in aluminum. So I don’t see why not.👍
What is the width of the saddle???
Hi there. The saddle is pretty thick. 3 mm👍
I can't seem to find anyone that talks about the actual angle as best I can figure it's about 4 to 6°
Hi Glen. The angle can vary from guitar to guitar and I find it difficult (and not precise enough) to calculate it. So I find the perfect intonation point for the two outer strings and draw a line. When the saddle is in place I fine tune the intonation for every string.
Amazing. Excellent work. Blessings
😊 Thanks
Thank you very much, your video was very helpful, fantastic!
Merci énormément i really liked yours vidéos. Thank you very much for your sharing. Question what painting technique et what color is applied ? Thanks a lot
Hi. I used a Brown colortone liquid stain. Just brushed it on and removed the excess with a clothe.
Can you make a bajo sexto?
Hey Johnny. That’s funny, i just two weeks ago repaired two Bajo Quatro and thought about building one. Maybe a Bajo Sexto is a better idea😜
scrapwood is very nice
Wow Dude!
Thanks!
Thanks😜
Cutting kerfing is SO boring. I’m gonna buy it from Amazon next time.
If you make a crosscut sled for table saw mark a like 3/16 or 1/4" from the blade on one side, and make a piece out of good timber for kerfing 30" x 4" × 5/16" piece, start a cut at the end and line up every cut after with the mark on the sled then you can rip cut 5/8 strips of kerfing off that, makes it super fast and fun
THIS IS ARTE !!!
Thanks
Welcome back!
Thanks😜
That's a fabulous sounding guitar and you play it exceptionally well with feeling and emotion. Thank you for posting. 🙂
Thank you❤️
Well that certainly explains the 2 year gap from your last video. Congratulations on achieving your dream, I truly hope it all works out for you. I have literally just finished filling out the paperwork for my dream home out in the country here in Ontario. In a few short months I'll be completely mortgage free. I'm sitting at my computer working on my plans for building my dream workshop on my new property. I intend to build every stick of it myself, never done it before but I'm full of fools confidence lol! Hopefully by the time I finish building mine, you will have put out some new build videos, I find your work very inspirational. i cant wait to start building guitars in a purpose built workshop.
Hi Carl. Thank you and congratulations to you! It sounds amazing. Best wishes! 💪
Dud！！Best Wishes😊
Thanks😜
Great job, man! I also used larch for top and braces for my first acoustic guitar. But I had perfectly straight and tight grain board. And it was huge mistake, braces gotta be from softer wood - spruce or pine. Are you gonna make one more scrap instrument?
Thank you! Yes, spruce is definitely the best choice for braces. But you can make them thinner and lighter with other kinds of harder wood. I’m going to build many moore instruments, but right now i’m renovating my new old farm and starts soon to build my dream guitar workshop😃
Ok. I’m sold. I’m making a guitar! Thank you so much. Also thanks for sharing the link to the plans.
Thank you and you are welcome😊 Have a happy build!
I love this ,just reinforces the fallacies of “tonewoods” !!! Yes they are aesthetically pleasing but does your guitar HAVE to be assembled with the most eye catching and endangered woods in the world to sound good….obviously not !
Thanks😜
Esta haciendolo MUI bien veremos el resultado haber que punto le dió gracias
Lo paso gue ha dado ban pero fecto iremos viendo gracias
Any musical instrument is about as better as possible sound, thus the best luthiers spent their lives searching for materials, forms and technics to give musicians the best instruments they could. To me, building a guitar from scrap, is an insult to those masters. Is it all about making the next TH-cam video? More subscribers? Realy?
Hi there. Thank you for your comment. I will say this is a homage to the luthiers techniques, skills and tools. Most luthiers would say that the Choice of wood is not the most important, but it is about what you do with it. As i mentioned in the video series, there is plenty of good reasons to use traditional tonewood. It is easier to work with, more stable, much prettier and there is more reliability what kind of sound you get. But i welcome your opinion and think it is an interesting discussion.😊
It's about story telling and finding out the story this wood has to tell. Maybe it's a bit ragged and has seen better days. But it's true to itself. I love it!
amazing work my friend, thanks for sharing
Thank you
Beautiful music, nice rich tone
Thanks😊
